Brittany Ann Fight Mascot


Brittany Ann is an MMA fighter and grappler based in Japan. I was asked to create for her a cute Japanese cartoon style personal mascot revolving around her favourite submission technique - the guillotine. Brittany has her own variation of the technique which is dubbed the Bri Choke or Brillotine.

After a brief conversation about the types of imagery that inspires Brittany, I suggested a pair of cats, one of them wearing a tiger suit and enacting out the guillotine choke.

The above is the first concept sketch, below the next steps towards finalisation.

Pen tool in Manga Studio Pro helped produce a rough ink version to the pencil sketch above

This version was drawn in Adobe Illustrator for the clean lines and flat colours

Final version with added glow in Photoshop.

Brittany will be fighting in the Deep Jewels 6 event on 3rd November. I wish her the best of luck!
